100% transparent advert. Buddy the circus 🎪 cob 🤣13hh 3 , 7. He has been with us from 4 years old as my son's pony - my son is 12. He is bombproof in traffic and hacks well alone and in company, plenty of experience with buses, tractors, etc. He has done some mounted games and is unflappable, although speed isn't really his thing.
He has so many positives. He is good to load, for the farrier and to clip/bath(im mean and I use cold 💧). He has done some fab XC training with my son. Hes a really nice looking pony in excellent health. Recently hogged and he really does look smart. Would make a lovely driving horse.
The honest bit.
He is not a novice pony and we wont sell to first time owners, he has some unusual tricks which we managed to school out of him this year but as soon as my son restarted with him he started again after a while happy to explain what he does to him and might be able to get a video it frustrates my son who has also gotten to big for him so its time for buddys next job, this problem comes up when schooling him on grass has been excellent out at XC hacks etc. I feel he has the wrong rider and would thrive with someone who can correct him properly. My son loves him but isn't balanced or experienced enough.
He is strong on the ground, is always handled by an adult as he will take the mick and try for some cheeky grass snack or have a jig jog, showing off for his mates. We have a shires control head collar on him and that works a treat. He is very clever, if he thinks he can get away with it, he'll try although saying all this he has had some education recently and has been perfect on the ground. My none horsey husband bought him in from the field this week no problems.
Plenty of videos. The right home is a must, he would be a great little fun ride/hacking pony. An experienced person would do well with him. Up to date with teeth, back, feet, wormer, vaccinations etc. A lovely looking, clever project pony, we will miss his cheeky persona but will be looking for something a bit bigger 2.5🥕
